Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1551 - 1477: Land of Origin

"So, where exactly is Huang Quan? Is he still in Xuanhuang World?" Huang Yi asked.

Knowing Huang Quan’s location is equivalent to knowing the Death God’s whereabouts.

"He is probably in the Land of Origin now," Dragon in the Sky said, with a hint of yearning in his eyes. "I want to go to the Land of Origin too. It’s a mysterious place, reportedly connected to the origins of many universes. Even the Creator God King Xiyuan of your universe and our universe’s Creator God King Dongji come from the Land of Origin. There must be ultimate truths there, ultimate answers to ultimate questions."

"What are ultimate questions? What are ultimate answers?" Huang Yi asked, curious.

Dragon in the Sky looked up at the sky and said dreamily, "Many people cultivate not to seek strength but to seek answers. For instance, some want to know what is in the Heaven Realm, so they cultivate to the Divine Enthronement and personally visit Heaven Realm. But some questions can’t be answered no matter the level of cultivation, even reaching the state of Emperor Huang Quan or Divine King. For example, your universe was created by the God King Xiyuan, so what existed Before the Common Era?"

"Before the Common Era... isn’t it the Land of Origin?" Huang Yi said.

"Then what about before the origin? What existed before the origin of all things? Beyond the source, what is there? Above worlds, there are galaxies, above galaxies, there are universes, and what above universes? How large is space truly? What exists outside space? How long is time truly? What existed before time began? When does time end? What exists after time ends? These are the ultimate questions sought by Huang Quan, the Death God, God of Space, God of Time, and even the Divine King."

Dragon in the Sky paused for a moment and continued, "But I think the ultimate answers can never be obtained. Asking how long time is and how large space is is akin to trying to give the largest number—you can never reach the largest number."

Huang Yi shook his head and said, "These questions are too intangible for us Heaven-Sent Men."

In his view, the Land of Origin, ultimate answers, and such are philosophical questions; as players, they might not visit those places until this generation of the virtual world ends.

Moreover, Era of Corporation wouldn’t provide answers to these questions; before that, they’d announce the closure of this generation of the virtual world and open the next generation.

Suddenly, Huang Yi thought of another question: "According to you, the Death God and Huang Quan should be inside the Land of Origin. Why haven’t they returned even once after all this time?"

"Because the Land of Origin is a place without the concept of time. They might think they’ve just entered while outside, sea changes into mulberry fields, countless galaxies have been destroyed and reborn, and possibly until the universe perishes, they won’t return." Dragon in the Sky responded.

Huang Yi fell silent for a while; considering this, he might never meet the Death God in person until the virtual world ends. Death God’s Temple might truly support him to become the new generation of Grim Reaper.

After chatting for a while, Huang Yi left Heroes’ Prison with Dragon in the Sky, returning to the Dragon Realm.

When Dragon in the Sky appeared on the mountaintop, the three Supreme Dragon Emperors suddenly fixed their gaze on him, and he staggered, transforming into a human form.

"Dragon in the Sky, long time no see!" The Supreme Holy Dragon approached him, patting his shoulder.

"Do you have any news about Georgia?" Dragon in the Sky asked the most pertinent question.

"Shortly after you were imprisoned in Heroes’ Prison, she also disappeared in Heaven Realm, and no one knows where she went." The Holy Supreme shook his head.

"Heaven Realm is already in chaos; many demigods have fallen, and even if Georgia hadn’t disappeared, she might not have survived until now." Supreme Demon Dragon also said.

...

Within the Demon Race Microcosm, several Demon Kings gathered together to discuss.

"Initially, I had set on conquering The Second World, but unexpectedly, the God of Slaughter appeared, collaborated with Gui Tianzhu, and killed my avatar, causing significant losses!" The King of Annihilation declared. His immensely powerful avatar had been killed on the Moon by Gui Tianzhu’s self-detonation, resulting in substantial losses. If he were to create another equally powerful avatar, his main body would become weakened.

"With the God of Slaughter present, those Heaven-Sent Men are likely to return to The Second World smoothly. Our actions will become more difficult; we must spare no expense to kill him. Delay will bring change!" The King of the Fallen said sharply.

"The God of Slaughter continuously disrupts our actions. I’ve long had enough; we’ll each dispatch a Void God avatar to kill him—I don’t believe we can’t kill him." The King of Greed said ominously.

"No need!" At that moment, a white hand extended from beneath the King of Hell’s sleeve, and his calm voice emerged from the deep black hole beneath his hood, "The God of Slaughter has now spread his feathers; killing him is too troublesome. We’ll strike at the foundation, directly refining The Second World. Last time, our failure was due to him killing the Queen of Agony, resulting in significant manpower losses. This time, we don’t need to set up a World-Ending Formation. My avatar will go to Heaven Realm again to borrow the Space Lock from the God of Space and completely seal The Second World."

"God of Space? Didn’t he break the barrier between the Divine-Demon Realms long ago and has been in seclusion since? Last time you went to Space Temple, you only managed to invite a few Space Envoys, but didn’t see him in person." The Dark King said suspiciously.

"Recently, significant events occurred in Heaven Realm, and the God of Space has come out of seclusion," the King of Hell said softly, emanating a heavy atmosphere from beneath the hood. "He’s been in seclusion for countless years; what insights he gained are unknown. His emergence must mean significant changes are occurring in the Three Realms, probably related to Heaven-Sent Men."

"Since the Death God’s disappearance, the God of Space has become the only Supreme God in the Demon Realm. His emergence would thwart the Barbarian God’s ambition to unify the Demon Realm! I truly wish the God of Space would kill the Barbarian God. Then, his avatar in the First World would vanish, and our actions in the First World would be much smoother," the King of Curses said with a sinister smile.

"The Barbarian God is the Son of God, blessed with enormous fortune; he won’t easily die. Let’s not think about him for now. Our current priority is refining The Second World and finding the Crystallization of the Divine King," the King of Hell shook his head, "I’ll create an avatar now to visit Heaven Realm and meet the God of Space!"

As he finished speaking, he shook his body to create an identical avatar, which then vanished into thin air.
